📍 Itinerary Overview Half day trip to Sommarøy 🤍The only time-free zone in the world 🤍Norway’s natural beauty 🏖️ Must-do list Highly recommend joining a one-day tour from Tromsø to experience Sommarøy. The journey takes about two hours from the city center, and along the way, our shuttle bus made several quick stops. 🚌 The tour guide would introduce you about the history / interesting facts of that spot, and give you enough time to take photos and explore around the place. ✨ At the last stop, we arrived the seaside where BBQ was prepared, surrounded by the stunning landscape. 🍗Hot chocolate 🍫 and snacks, like marshmallows and iconic Norwegian brown cheese paired with biscuits. It was a comforting treat amidst the awe-inspiring views. Sommarøy is definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking adventure and beauty in the Land of the Midnight Sun! ☀️
